Federal Employment

When a federal workplace is respectful, supportive, and fair, a federal job can be productive and rewarding. Unfortunately, federal work environments can sometimes be toxic due to poor management, lack of organization, unclear roles and reporting structures, and rogue fellow employees.

Sometimes an employer’s actions, omissions, and internal practices violate federal employment laws and regulations. In such cases, an employee can benefit from the counsel of an experienced employment lawyer.
